What was really fascinating to me was that the two leads, Benning and Foster looked their ages. A totally refreshing appearance from all the botox and cosmetic surgery of most actors of their ages.
Nyad was shown warts and all, her massive ego and narcissism well portrayed.
But most of all the plot was about the friendshhip between the women, and the acting was superb, particularly by Foster. A tour de force. Bening is also good, a difficult role but we catch the humanity beneath her dominating personality.
The supporting cast is also well done, and the ending, triumphant, would bring tears to a stone.
An extraordinary feat by an extraordinary woman.
8/10.
